UEFA sanctions Tottenham over fans’ Nazi gestures in Champions League tie

UEFA has sanctioned Tottenham Hotspur after three of the club’s supporters were found to have made Nazi style salutes during a Champions League away match against Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany. The European football body fined Spurs 30,000 euros for racist and discriminatory behaviour and imposed a suspended one match ban on selling away tickets in UEFA competitions. The away ticket ban will only take effect if there is a repeat offence within a one year probationary period, meaning it does not affect Tottenham’s upcoming last 16 trip to face Atletico Madrid. UEFA also issued a separate 2,250 euro fine after some Spurs supporters were found to have thrown objects during the 2–0 win at Deutsche Bank Park on January 28. Tottenham said it fully cooperated with UEFA’s investigation, as well as with German police and the Metropolitan Police, and condemned […]

Arbeloa urges UEFA to turn anti racism drive into real action

Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa has urged UEFA to back its anti racism slogans with strong and consistent action after the alleged racist abuse of Vinicius Junior in a Champions League match against Benfica. He said European football now has a key chance to set a clear example and move beyond banners and pre match messages.​ UEFA has provisionally suspended Benfica midfielder Gianluca Prestianni for the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu while it investigates Vinicius’ allegation. If the inquiry concludes that he racially abused the Brazilian forward, the 18 year old faces a minimum 10 match ban.​ Arbeloa said football needs a turning point in the fight against racism and called on UEFA to seize this moment. He added that Vinicius, who scored the only goal in the first leg before the incident stopped play for about 10 minutes, […]

Scotland Face World Cup Shootout Against Denmark After Greece Defeat

Scotland are set for a dramatic winner-takes-all showdown against Denmark on Tuesday after narrowly losing 3-2 to Greece in their penultimate World Cup qualifier. Despite falling 3-0 behind in Piraeus, Steve Clarke’s men staged a spirited comeback but could not complete the turnaround as Belarus held group leaders Denmark to a surprise 2-2 draw in Copenhagen. Denmark now lead Group C by a single point and can afford to draw in Glasgow, owing to their superior goal difference. Scotland, aiming to reach their first World Cup since 1998, must win to secure automatic qualification. Captain Andy Robertson expressed relief at still being in contention, emphasizing the historic opportunity awaiting Scotland at Hampden Park. Although disappointed by the Greece result, the team remains focused on clinching the World Cup berth or, failing that, entering the play-offs. The decisive match promises high […]

UEFA Rule to Prevent Liverpool and Real Madrid From Group Clash

Liverpool will be barred from facing Real Madrid in next season’s UEFA Champions League group stage if both clubs qualify for the competition. According to UEFA regulations, the decision stems from a new rule that prevents the same two clubs from being drawn together with the same home team for three consecutive seasons. Liverpool and Real Madrid have met in two straight Champions League campaigns since the new format began. Arne Slot’s side defeated Madrid 2-0 at Anfield in late November last season and will host them again this week. This will be the 13th meeting between the clubs in the competition, with most encounters happening over the last 16 years. Only two of those have been in the group stage, while the rest came in knockout rounds, including three finals in 1981, 2021, and 2022. UEFA’s rule, outlined in […]

CAS Upholds UEFA Ruling, Sends Crystal Palace to Conference League

Crystal Palace will compete in the UEFA Conference League this season after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) upheld UEFA’s decision to demote the club over breaches of multi-club ownership rules. In its ruling on Monday, CAS confirmed that Palace’s Europa League spot will instead go to Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest. The case centred on Eagle Football Holdings founder John Textor, who CAS found held shares and board positions in both Crystal Palace and Olympique Lyonnais (OL) at the time of UEFA’s eligibility assessment. OL have also qualified for the Europa League. Palace earned their place in the competition by winning the FA Cup in May but were ruled ineligible on July 11. The club argued that Forest or Lyon should be excluded instead, but CAS ruled that UEFA regulations “are clear and do not provide flexibility” for […]
